We started the business together. It basically started in my kitchen (plumbing contractor). We used money that I received from my mother's life insurance to put a down payment on his first truck. We then built a small shop with a office. I did the paperwork for him in the evenings after I got finished at school. He started getting more work and hired more people. I eventually convinced him that he needed a real secretary(yes, the one he is having an affair with, I could kick myself). I even found her. We incorporated the business. I'm listed as 49% owner and he is 51% owner. He outgrew the shop and we bought a new shop and acreage. He employs around 11 people now. The mortgage to the shop is listed in both of our names. So as you can see my name is listed all over the business. I just don't physically work there.
